Arthur Abraham vs. Andre Dirrell: who will win?

[one-Punch]

This will be interesting. I think AA is going to take Dirrell out but it's not going to be easy. At least AA will know what he is going to be up against, holding and running. And if Dirrell holds as much as he did vs Froch, he is going to get caught. There were a couple times I watched Dirrell open up to hold against Froch, and Froch didn't take advantage. AA's shorter reach will defiantly help him out vs Dirrell in that sense. As for Dirrell's foot work in the ring, this may give AA some trouble. I see another jab and run fight out of this from Dirrell. But he will get caught.

Defense goes to AA.
Speed goes to Dirrell.
Intangibles goes to AA.
Power goes to AA.

AA wins by KO.

I got Abraham by KO around the 8th round. Any why is this poll not public?

Dirrell by UD12, too fast, too skilled, too much foot movement for Abraham. Dirrell fights very similar to RJJ.

Dirrell by UD12, too fast, too skilled, too much foot movement for Abraham. Dirrell fights very similar to RJJ and Pascal.

Dirrell is defiantly faster. He defiantly is quicker on his feet. But I don't see him as being the more skilled fighter in this bout. Did you see how many times Dirrell would RUN at Froch to clinche in moments of panic? This tactic isn't going to work against Abraham due to his power, shorter height, and shorter reach. A good push or counter punch is going to stop Dirrell instantly. As for the running, like I said before, this could give Abraham some troubles. Nothing that a good counter punch won't fix.

Call me crazy but I think I might go with Dirrell by decision.

Dirrell will be doing more running and clinching in that fight than the Froch fight...Abraham would be best advised to start his attack earlier, particularly the body because i dont see Dirrell doing any taylor-like fades at the end

I liked a lot of things I saw about both in their respective fights. Dirrell will most likely be too hard to hit for Abraham to KO him, but Abraham is hard to hit clean and will land the more effective punches for a decision. Possible KO if Dirrell has to open up late to catch up on the scorecards.
